The Tory Candidate for North Ayrshire is being hung out to dry for stating an empirical fact.
Philip Lardner wrote that homosexuality is “not ‘normal’ behaviour”.

It is not. It is aberrant behaviour, a leaning shared by at the very most 8.5% of the population. It is abnormal because it involves a form of mutual satisfaction and/or copulation that cannot result in the issue of offspring, taking place as it does between two members of the same gender.

It is not abhorrent, it is not horrid, and it is not illegal – thank God. But it is abnormal. There is no stigma in my mind attached to this conclusion: but as a physical being with mental reasoning capacities, it seems to me there is no way round the extrapolation that it is abnormal.

The Chair of the Scottish Conservatives called the remarks “deeply offensive and unacceptable.”
Offensive to whom? Unacceptable to whom?

I don’t find the term ‘Chair’ either offensive or unacceptable, but I do find it daft, gesturist, potty pc – and yet more evidence that British culture has lost its marbles. I also find the Chair’s remarks offensive and bigoted because they represent bad science. Where is my court of appeal in all this?

This is the sort of reasoning we used to associate with Loony Left Councils and the bonkers wing of both the Parliamentary Labour and Liberal Parties. If it has now infected the Conservatives, then once again we must conclude that logic – and perfectly fair logic at that – has left the building.

This is the difference between the Correct and the Commonsense. What I find silly, they find unacceptable. What I find funny, they find deeply offensive.

The sooner our electoral system is reformed in a way that reflects reality rather than rigid polemics, the sooner new Parties based on life experience and mature fairness will emerge. And the sooner tiny fascist elites based on alchemy will be consigned to history.
